Hopefully this hasn't been said, (i only browsed through the posts) a good exterior mod would be the '97-'98 tail & Clear Alternatives Integrated tail light.. Much brighter than stock and gets rid of those ugly OEM turn signals.
Not sure if it was answered, but to clean up the under side above the tire, you want an undertail. You do have to do a little modding, but it's not bad. Let us know what you wanna do and we can give you the steps to do so!
BTW, cool bike and welcome to the forums!

Regarding claims that helmets obstruct vision, studies show full-coverage helmets provide only minor restrictions in horizontal peripheral vision. A 1994 study found that wearing helmets restricts neither the ability to hear horn signals nor the likelihood of seeing a vehicle in an adjacent lane prior to initiating a lane change. To compensate for any restrictions in lateral vision, riders increased their head rotation prior to a lane change. There were no differences in hearing thresholds under three helmet conditions: no helmet, partial coverage, and full coverage. The noise typically generated by a motorcycle is so loud that any reduction in hearing capability that may result from wearing a helmet is inconsequential. Sound loud enough to be heard above the engine can be heard when wearing a helmet.

If you do want any advice however, my best (this is from someone who has only owned a bike for a year) would be to dont get ahead of yourself. If this is your first bike, you WILL make mistakes, do yourself a favor and make those mistakes at low speed, wearing protective gear.
No lesson intended, just trying to look out for you mate...
